went for a run around the university yesterday and on the way home just happened to pick up a big set of prismacolors, which i haven't used since these days...
after a diversion to our basement for a tornado warning - we are in the land of oz, after all - i got some play time with the new little goodies...
[photo by my six-year-old] the girls call these 'little wishes' and blow them all around town to spawn even more little wishes...
speaking of little wishes, one appeared in my mailbox last week...
artsyville is on pages 48-51 of the summer 2009 issue of artful blogging, available may 1 at borders, barnes & noble and most other stores that carry art/craft magazines. thanks, somerset studio :)
and now, i have a surprise afternoon to myself - i'm leaving this messy house behind right now and going somewhere before the next storm (or swine flu) arrives.

I'll be on the look out for the summer Artful Blogging...can't wait to get it!
Oh congratulations! That is so exciting! I can't wait to pick up a copy!
Oh Aimee, I love prismacolors! Their colors are gorgeous and show up well on dark backgrounds too. Congratulations on you being featured in Artful Blogging! That is socool!

OOOOOH! Congratulations Aimee! I never heart of Artful Blogger but if there is such a thing, your blog would perfectly explain it! You have the most colorful blog! I love your blog.
What?! You went for a jog?? I feel so betrayed. :(
Man, don't brand new colored pencils and markers send you in a happy little tizzy? I love them! All that art in there, waiting to come out. You will liberate them!!! And that is, quite frankly, a great picture of little wishes. I used to love them, until I started gardening. Now whenever my kids pick one and blow, I have a mild seizure.
Tornadoes....that could keep me from living in Lawrence permanently. Glad it didn't happen.
YAY!!!! for new pencils :)
YAY!!!! for a 6-year-old who takes awesome pictures of wishes :)
YAY!!!! for you and wishes come true in Artful Blogging (cannot wait to get a copy and see your colorful wonderfuls on those pages)...
:)

Congrats on being featured in Artful Blogging! And your spread is four pages...wow! :)

Hope the weather wasn't too bad. It's headed here in the next 24 hours! Don't catch the swine flu, that'd be sad, and hooray for a new pack of pencils :)
prismacolor pencils are the best!
by the way, I love the first artsyville doodle! WHOA! :)
Oh and now you are famous! Woweeee. I don't think I'll be able to get that magazine in Ireland though. Well done you.
Lovely photo of the dandelion clock, how clever of her. Fabulous new pencils too, I can't resist them.

wow congrats on the mag! I look forward to your prismacolor pencil drawings. I have always used derwent, and just discovered prisma color. I am buying them 1 by 1, because I would feel guilty with 2 big boxes of pencils....or would I?
New pencils, yes, I well know such giddy excitement... enjoy them.
New colored pencils all new and sharp represent so much potential...what will they do? It will be fun to see!
oh, congrats! that is awesome!
Yay! There's nothin' better than new art supplies :-)
Congrats on Artful Blogger -- I'm gonna go out and pick it up at Borders!

Congratulations - that is so fantastic! We don't get Artful Blogging here, but just feasting my eyes on your marvellous blog is inspiration enough. Hurricanes - eeeek! We don't get those here either, and THAT is a good thing!

congratulations on the magazine and for not being relocated the land of oz in a tornado!
Nice blog!

I know, this swine flu is slightly unnerving.
Thank you for stopping by on Sunday!

congratulation on the article. I remember you writing about some time ago (if my mind is not playing tricks on me)- and now it's for real!

Congrats and this is how I found your blog and your Etsy. You're so talented and now I'm a fan and a follower. :)
Congratulation Aimee:)
